Glory

If you're Diego Maradona, credited with goals dubbed by the press as the "Hand of God" and the "Goal of the Century," then you're probably no stranger to glory.

But you probably aren't Diego Maradona. Because why on earth would one of the most famous soccer players in the history of soccer be reading about how to become a soccer player? Been there, done that. So we can safely assume you aren't Diego Maradona. Which means glory—even for some of the best, most reliable, and most effective soccer players out there today—is pretty hit or miss. And like any game of Battleship, there's a greater potential to miss than to hit.
